Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Tiki hard to install?

Tiki can be installed via Docker (simplified for beginners) or traditional LAMP/WAMP stacks. Official documentation provides step-by-step guides for both methods, so even users with basic server knowledge can set it up successfully.

? Is it a good alternative to Confluence?

Yes—Tiki offers core wiki and collaboration features like page versioning and team spaces, but is fully open-source and self-hostable (no subscription costs). It also includes extra tools like forums and e-commerce that Confluence lacks, though Confluence has a more modern UI for some use cases.

? Is it completely free?

Tiki is 100% free under the GNU General Public License (GPL). All core features, plugins, and themes are available without any licensing fees, making it an affordable choice for self-hosting.
